The Jets are fine cap-wise? They trade Copp/Stastny at the deadline or let them walk in the summer since both on expiring deals and we have more than enough cap space.

I like Appleton, but I think DeMelo may be worth a bit more. Maybe because peg is cash strapped, Seattle has em where they want em, but I would ask for more

The Jets aren't giving up DeMelo for Appleton, that is awful value for Winnipeg.

Winnipeg also won't be buying at the TDL, so it makes no sense for them to give up a 3rd for a rental 7/8 defenseman.

We'll yes that would solve the cap situation but without Copp who would their third line be? Lowry Vesalainen and Harkins? We saw how effective a good third line could be for the Jets the past couple seasons and this year it has really fallen off so I would say trying to keep Copp should be a pretty high priority

Ya fair point something else could be added to the trade. I was just thinking of who it would make sense to give up to move some money out. To me Schmidt or DeMelo would make sense but I think DeMelo would be a little easier to move being a right shot and making a little less money

BUF likes Pysyk, not sure this gets it done
